It has been a few weeks of strong, beautiful women and their daughters I have gotten to photograph. There is such a special bond between mom and daughter.

Erin and I had discussed a non-holiday look to their portraits, and I was thrilled with the weather. We didn’t expect the giant mosquitoes though (bummer!). Erin hand made the girls’ tutus and they looked absolutely adorable. Once the camera came out though, big sister Eva wanted nothing to do with the photo shoot.

I’m sure park goers were entertained as me and Tia Nicole made puppy noises, jumped up and down, pretended bunnies were on our heads, ect. Yet despite the two year old tantrum, I think I captured some pretty spectacular moments between all of them.

such beautiful little princesses in their tutus! And mommy Erin, working her magic with the girls.

luckily a doggy was passing right behind me!

okay… so this image on the left. I am in love with it. Mommy was comforting Eva, Nico was eating grass, and the sunlight hit everyone so beautifully. Erin, you are a natural in front of the camera!! I love photographing you! And the second image is Nico getting love from mama.

Erin I know that when we walked away after this session you were wondering if I had gotten anything… I hope this sneak peek shows that we did. 🙂

XOXO,
